India eye victory as West Indies batsmen collapse again
- August 11, 2016

India still lead the series 1-0 with two matches to go. India have certainly kept up their challenge, winning the first Test in Antigua by an innings and taking a big lead after two days of the second Test. With 140 runs in his 5 Tests so far, at an average of 14, the worst for any West Indies opener who has played 10 or more innings, the West Indies selectors have run out of patience with the 26-year-old and have made a decision to give Hope another shot at the worldwide level.

- August 11, 2016

McKayla Maroney Is About to Pull a Taylor Swift
- August 11, 2016

While her Fierce Five teammates Gaby Douglas and Aly Raisman flipped their way to Rio, former Olympic gymnast McKayla Maroney took her talents from the vault to the studio. It was such a big test for me to be like, you know what? No! "You're so dedicated and committed". She didn't have time to date while a competitive gymnast, so hopefully the past few years have given her some exciting romances to write and sing about. (more...)

Hillary Clinton Blames Climate Change For Spread Of Zika
- August 11, 2016

It is obvious that Obama, Clinton, the media and every other left-wing progressive out there is just waiting for an opportunity for Trump to make a misstep so they can point a finger at him and brand him as threatening. When 75 percent of a candidate's statements are "mostly false" or lies, I have difficulty believing that he would do what he has said if elected. The U.S. (more...)

- August 11, 2016

Adding Snapchat stickers saying "game on", "level up" and a piece of candy reading "eat me", the star's excitement was obvious. "Like, I did not dance". Kardashian mentioned, according to the Mirror . "She was the model that he wanted ..." At pretty much every film screening (which is where they did all their socialising back then) they rocked up in cute outfits and quite often the same hairstyle too - awwww!
